LET'S SEE YOUR MINI MODS

Just finished this 18650 mini mod made especially for my 18mm Mini Buddhas. It's from scratch except for the switch (from an LPG) and the spring loaded 510 connector. It looked really good with its initial angular asymmetrical shape, but didn't feel so good in the hand, so I rounded it off more conservatively. Feels great and hits hard, worthy of the Mini Buddha which I have grown to love. Size is perfect for the pocket and no sacrificing amperage with a smaller battery.

Thanks but sorry, just make them for myself as the mood strikes. PM me though so I have a record. Never know when one gets bumped by a new one.

Need to add another wrap of twisted 28g 430ss to get it up towards 0.5ohm but this little mod actually runs TC wery well.

....and what built did you put in the mini Merlin @raymo2u? Knowing a little about the builds you make, how long does that 1300 mAh last you?

It only needs around 50w for a nice warm vape with half open airflow....lasts me a couple hours before needing to charge but it doesnt take long to charge. Its a great setup for On-The-Go or Going out...

That is a beautiful setup Ray. How do you like the Merlin mini? Looking at that work of art a.k.a. your coil on the Merlin, I couldn't begin to think about making it....

Thank you, its great. The airflow is restrictive but not so much that it feels like a task, a very comfortable draw. I havent tried the MTL option yet but I feel I may in the future.
The key is to use the space provided, something with a small diameter will give you a less restrictive draw.....for those that want something similar to the Griffin halfway open I would use 2.5mm-3mm ID, for something like the Goblin Mini wide open use 4mm-4.5mm ID with the screw taken out. The shortened chimney and them smaller chamber make this a great flavor rta, better then most Ive tried and its a real treat after using something airy and bland :cool:

The build itself looks difficult but its pretty easy compared to some of my other coils.
You just need to clapton 28g with some 36g, then line that up with 3 pieces of Ribbon wire on each side, frame it with 28g and then clapton it all with 44g....if you dont have high gauges or ribbon wire just try 26g/34g clapton, frame it with 26g or 28g and clapton the grooves with 40g..it takes some time but the vape off this particular type of coil is amazing..

@raymo2u, thank you very much for the mini tutorial, I actually never bought ribbon wire, I make my own as the need arises. I have a rolling mill so it takes me a few minutes.

LOL you will need .4mm x .1mm or .3mm x .1mm for the Ribbon, its similar in size to 28g and 30g...Maybe flattening 30g to .1mm thin would make it?

Naahh! It ain't hardcore, its cheap! I figured I have the wire and I have the rolling mill...what the hell, just make the ribbon instead of ordering and then waiting for it. It's not like when I made the square SS wire:vino:
